Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on IP20: a quiet market, so take your time

At around 12 sales a month, IP20 is quiet, so no single figure here should carry much weight, and the individual sold homes are the better guide.

If you are selling, with detached homes at £342,500 and flats at £136,500, the £164,300 to £495,495 spread is really several markets, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; a quick cash sale buys certainty at a cost, usually about 70–85% of market value as a rough guide, not a quote, so weigh it carefully.

Sell house

If you are buying, on price, IP20 is close to the UK average, so the sold homes of your type are the yardstick to hold an asking price to.

Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (18 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,335 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.

The sold prices leave a lot open; the free IP20 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English

What the East Suffolk (IP20) numbers mean

  • The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £342,500 against £136,500 for flats: about 2.5 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
  • Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £164,300 and £495,495, so the median says little about any one home.
  • Nearly all of these sales (92%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.

Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

  • This is a quiet district: only about 12 recorded sales a month.

What it costs to run a home in IP20, band by band

East Suffolk's council tax for 2026-27 set against the IP20 median sold price of £275,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.

Questions, answered

The IP20 report: your questions

What is the average house price in IP20?
The typical (median) sold price in IP20 is £275,000, from 250 recorded sales between 1 November 2024 and 11 August 2026. Most sales fell between £164,300 and £495,495. That is close to the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index averages). A median is the middle sale, so a few very expensive homes do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.
What does each type of home cost in IP20?
Typical sold prices by type in IP20: detached homes £342,500 (108 sales), semi-detached homes £254,968 (70 sales), terraced homes £190,000 (39 sales), flats £136,500 (18 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.
How much is council tax in IP20?
IP20 is billed by East Suffolk, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,335 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band. Look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near IP20?
The Department for Education's register lists 2 open schools within 3 km of the IP20 district centre, the nearest being Mendham Primary School (last Ofsted grade: Good). These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid. They are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
How up to date are the IP20 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 28 August 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Is IP20 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 IP20 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 5 to decile 7, with a median of decile 5 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like IP20 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near IP20?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 18 applications within 500 m of the IP20 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.
Can I see what an individual address in IP20 sold for?
Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 247 distinct addresses in the records we hold for IP20, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.
Does IP20 cover my exact street?
IP20 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges, not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
